Noblesville sophomore Meredith Tippner was named the girls Indiana Basketball Coaches Association/Franciscan Health Player of the Week in District 2 for the weeks of Dec. 22 and 29.
Tippner has had a fine season, and the Millers are out to a 13-3 start on the year. Last week, she was instrumental in their wins over two strong opponents, helping them win the prestigious Raymond James Hall of Fame Classic. In their first game of the day, Noblesville took down East Central rather comfortably, 62-37. Tippner scored 16 points in the contest, but she also added eight rebounds, four assists, two steals, and a blocked shot in limited minutes.
Later that evening, Tippner helped the Millers knock off Bedford North Lawrence for the second time in two weeks, this time by a nail-biting 69-67 mark in double overtime. While the game was exhilarating throughout, the 5-10 guard managed to post a huge double-double with 23 points and 15 rebounds. She was also involved in facilitating as well, as she handed out five assists in the big win.
